Overview
With the distinction of being the most populous state in the Twelfth District and the state with the largest GDP in the country, California is home to both the SF Fed’s headquarters in San Francisco and its Los Angeles branch office. The Bank’s headquarters first opened in November 1914, while the Los Angeles branch office—which is both the District’s and the Federal Reserve System’s largest branch office—opened in 1920. Each day, the Twelfth District processes 77 million bank notes with the largest share handled by the Los Angeles branch.
